Spring in Fall

It’s crazy how time gets away from us.  Yes, we were busy producing a grandchild, driving to Denver to help Denver Daughter relocate to Michigan, and return to Sarnia to make up for some lost time with said grandchild.  Still, I could have written many posts and I didn’t because I fell into a rabbit hole of genealogical research.

The house in Denver is under contract, fingers crossed all goes well.  Grandson is three months already.  Another testament to the unforgiving passage of time.

In my defense, it is spring in some parts of the world now, so some people may be able to relate.  Excuses aside, here are some pictures that I took in Sarnia last spring to be followed by the many posts that are waiting patiently on the sidelines.  So many….

The city burst into bloom and a symphony of colours and wonderful scents.  Except for this stinky Callery Pear tree.

There were wisterias,

magnolias,

beautiful flowers,

trees and shrubs,

 

 

and most of all, the promise of summer and fun.

Happy spring to my friends in Southern Australia, south America, and Southern Africa.  Happy fall to the rest of us

    Life gets busy sometimes. Best to enjoy it as it happens. We are kind of in the same boat as we wait for our first grandchild. Happy Wednesday. Allan

    What a lovely way to say good morning the sun is just coming up and I’m reading your blog and looking at all those flowers and in a few weeks it will be the same here. And I am hoping for anew grandchild.

    Beautiful spring pics. Very cheery on a fall day. I don’t think you should apologize for living a good and busy life outside of blogging. There is something to be said for a good life.

    I’ve heard some trees are blooming actually a second time, as the weather was so hot lately in some places🙂
    Enjoy your time with the little one, they are the miracle of life!

    No need for explanations. There’s this thing called life that impedes a lot of other things. There are a couple of folks in my family who love anything to do with genealogy. I find it interesting, just not enough to do all the research because I know they will.

    Life happens, and it’s all the more important to take care of that before everything else, including blogging. Rest assured, blogging will always be here when you return to it! Have a wonderful fall season and congrats on your first grandchild!

    This year really had just flown by. I can’t believe it’ll be time for Christmas again.

    Spring in Sarnia looks beautiful. I love wisterias and magnolias and looks like you had them in full bloom.

    Enjoy your time with your grandchild and the first Halloween and holidays in December. Time flies when you’re having fun!

    Time does have a way of flying by, but it sounds like you had lots of excitement along the way. Lovely photos, I enjoy the colorful flowers as a contrast to fall, which is beginning to set in here.

    Sorry I didn’t read this post earlier. Broke a leg and a wrist and was in hospital but I’m back home now. Yeah! Cheers, Muriel

We would love to hear from you!
